GREYHOUND LOST HIS TAIL.
The Curious Accident which BefeIi
aLong.Drnwn-OutA Animal.

tChicGco Herald.l
The fast train between Alameda and
San Francisco the other day ran down
upon magnificent mouse-colored gray
hound of the grandest proportions of
his breed. The beautiful dog was
standing about twelve inches from
the rails over which the crush
ing wheels would roll in five
seconds. lie was gazing suspiciously
at another dog that was watch
ing him at q safe distance from the
track. In his earnest desire to ascertain
whether peace or war was to be pro
claimed, he cared nothing for the lying
engine, and, assuredly, the engine cared
as little for him, rs it swept remOrsely
on, making no sound beyond that caused
by the thunder Of It's approach, % which
the hound had listened too often, under
less dangerous conditions, to be alarmed
by it now.
Many persons, including the dogs
owner, stood upon the sidewalk, some of
them with very pale faces, and none with
very much hope that the apparently
doomed grayhOund would ever course IL
hare again. Nobody spoke, for the
time had passed when a sharp call 10 the
annual might have done some good but
suddenly he saw the crashing monster
when it was four feet away, aud utterly
bewildered he made great DOund--in
the wrong direction He aiGhtcd ON
the pilot of the engine. and if the powers
that regulate such matters bad not had
some future use for him surely he would
have been converted into sauSage-meat
at once.
As il was he was hurled six yards into
the air, and fell on his feet near the pass
ING cars. He was clearly nan conpos
lacniis, for without n seconds hesitation
he sprang directly at the train again, rs
though his whole desire in life was to
board it as it flew. This time he struck
the rail of one Of the platforms, and fell
on his back between the cars and partly
under the wheels. The next moment
the train was rushing away i'll the dis
lance, and 20 the amaZement Of the by
ISLANDERS the gaunt dog was on MS feet
and busilv engaged in licking the pos
terror extremity OF his spine. The crowd
at once surrounded him.
"What is the matter with him?"
cried his owner, who was as much CON
fused now as the hound had been few
seconds earlier. "He does not seem TO
be as long as lac was.
He was much shorter. His lengthy
steering apparatus had been ground oil,
and he stood before his master It cur
tailed dog
At this moment his eye fell upon the
animal he had been contemplating when
the locomotive interrupted him, and he
growled savagely.
"You brute +" exclaimed the owner.
"You ought to be down on your knees
thanking the Lord for the escape you
just had.
The pentup feelings of the crowd
were sharplyralieved, and, with hearty
laugh, it dispersed.

HOW FEMALE VILLAGERS VOTED.
They Cast Their Ballots In the
Cause OF Prohibition.

A Binghamton q. ! } special says a:
Kattleviiie is an almost deserted village IN
the northern part Of the county 1t had
its brightest prospec. when the Chenango
canal was the uriDcipalmeans Of convey
ance TO and from the centre IF the state,
AMI when Sam Sloan managed the SYRIA
cuse road. aud al. trains stopped there.
Now the "village" consists Of only one
store, which Is also the pOst-Otlice, and
the villagers can only see the tars sihey
pass through Yesterday was election
dav, and The i.tle post-olfice and polling
place was thr0nged with farmers. Sam
uel Bishop, Sherwood Palmer, and Perry
Heath were the inspectors, aud voca-
ton Ike that was looked upon as q posi-
ton CT high honor in the eyes of Katie
vile people.
While the sitters around were gazing
intently upon every one that entered
they were suddenly astounded 10y a
crowd of eleven women, headed by
Leonard Lewis, entering and demand
ing to be permitted to vote. The shock
was 50 sudden that at first no one
though. OF challenging them. but sub
seduently ali eccentric fellow named
Martin, who writes poetry for the news
papers, jumped from his chair and said .
II challenge them.
Mr.. LEWIS did the talking for the
women and said they were determined
to vote, aud if challenged would swear
their votes in.
"Wen," continued Mr.. Martin, 81
challenge them because they are not male
citizens and are unqualified"
Every we'll; they will swear their
votes in, continued Mr.. Seymour.
In the mean time Inspector Palmer
brought out the Code and read the law
to them. Nothing was said by the con-
testants themselves, but Mr.. Lewis said :
"All right" The first to swear her vote
in was Mrs. Frances Lewis, his wife,
She took the oath and 10 a determined
manner said Eyes, SIR TO everything.
She vas asked her age MISUNDERSTANDING
said "Forty-two." She voted. The
others went through the same ceremony
and none hesltated in their answers.
Mrs. LUcilla Cook, the cx.deputy
| postmaster, came next The others
were Mr.. Seymour's daughter and the
wife OF Seymour's brother. The names
in order OF those who followed are
Mrs. j.. Lewis, Mrs. j. @. Lewis, Mrs
Lewis Seymour, Mrs A. Wood, Mrs
Delphire Miller, Mrs. 4. NJ. Brooks,
Mary Bennett Mrs. Newton Newman,
Mrs. i. NJ. Heath, and Mrs. William
Carpenter.
All voted the Prohibition ticket, and
their votes were counted in the official
returns which were filed here to-day.
Ii is thought the election will not be
contested.

How ET FEELS.
4 Man Who Escaped Lynchors Tells a
CorreNpOndent.

A Waco Tex. special says On Saiur-
day, November 10Th, Justice ". c..
BOYD. Of Precinct No. 1, McLennan
county, issued warrant for the arrest Of
one Daniel Wells, who was charged 10y
Stephen Harvey with stealing two horses
belonging TO him. The warrant was
placed in the hands Of Constable Sparks
for service, and that officer kept his man
unde. surveillance, but did not arrest
him at once, owing to the fact that Mrs.
Wells, wife of the accused, was Ill. and
also in consideration of a knowledge Of
Weiss disposition and confidence that
he would not attempt to run off.
Last Sunday night Constable Sparks,
his brother, aud Stephen Harvey, tic
prosecuting witness, we're riding together
along the road in the valley of Childer's
creek when they met Wells. The coa-
stable halted him, read the warrant by
the light of a match, and placed him I'M
der arrest. Wells expressed indignation
that his accuser, Harvey, was one Of
what he presumed to De posse cOn'i-
tafus, and Constable Sparks humoring
the within directed Harvey TO leave,
which order the latter oheyed.
The constable and his brother, with
the prisoner, took the road towards
China Springs, about five miles distant,
and were chatting as they rode. The
Childer's creek prairie just along there
is notified with live oak groves, and the
road, winding with the bends OF the
creek. turns frequently 1t was a star
light night, out the moon had not risen.
Suddenly in tho roadside a band of
masked men appeared and, with loaded
guns, commanded halt. The constable
and his brother drew their revolyers,
but the maskers arose from every bush.
until it appeared to the officers aud their
prisoner MS if fifty men, mounted and on
foot, all disguised with handkerchieis
crossing at their noses and tied behind
their ears, were upon them. The msskers
soon explained their business With
Winchester carbines, double barrelled
shotguns, and 45-calibre six-shooters
levelled upon the constable, his brother,
and Wells, they compelled all three TO
dismonnt, and in trice the Sparks bro
theirs were relieved of their weapons and
marched away into a thicket of young
live-oeks There they were seated upon
the ground and six men mounted guard
around them and cnmmauded silence.

rhore another band was grouped. When
the two bands were united at least lOo
masked men we're assembled, and quick
ly a drnmhead court-martial was organ

One Of the first questions addressed to
Wells was: "When did you see John
II saw him tonight Wells replied
without tremor .,,
"Where did you see him ?" the lynch
ers continued.
"Near John Moore's fence"
"Say your prayers" came the COM
mand.
81 am not praying man. Wells re-
piled. d,
Then two men stepped forward, and
one of them drew from his pocket cord
about ten fect long, and tho two bound
Wells securely. Two more advanced,
and one of them dropped moose over
his head and drew it up, placlng the
knot carefully, hangman-fashlon, back
of one ear. The moose being made
secure about the prisoners neck, the
ether end of the lariat was tossed over a
bouqh. A dozen men pulling on it drew
Wells into The air. He was quickly let
down. This was repeated three times;
Zach time the questions were asked
about John Nail. He was aIsC ordered
20 tell all lie knew about Haryey's
horses.
After the third hanging Wells said
hoarsely, but with unabated pluck
"Gentlemcn. you may hang me ityou
wish to. AN in your hands. | will die
saving that did not steal the horses,
and don't know anything against John
Nail"
Finding that Wells was in earnest the
vigilants unbound their prisoner, took
him back TO the place where the Sparks
brothers were guarded, restored to the
latter their horses and weapons, and
scattered in fifty directions. The three
men then resumed their journey.
Scarcely a word was spoken by any OF
the party on the subject Of the hanging.
Wells was kept under guard until yester-
day. and at about 3 o'clock in the after
noon Constable Sparks reached this city,
having him in custody. Here he turned
him over to Jalcr Grim, and at this in
slant Daniel Wells IS in a steel cell in the
McLennan-count9 jail, safe from the
vigilanfs Of Childer's creek.
